That is what one would call "deeply unpopular". Neither Trump, Biden nor Harris are above 44%. They may all be unpopular (because nearly all public figures in all walks of life are, today), but none of them are "deeply unpopular", even though they are all less popular than Ford was. | |

| Jul 15 at 21:48 | comment | added | Italian Philosopher | I think Harris was an excellent choice as a 2020 VP - she was "law and order" and made an excellent foil to the "crime-friendly radical left" talking points of the Reps (even to the point of turning off some progressives). And that's the role VPs often fill in tickets - plugging some regional or factional/religious roles to bolster the chances of the main dude - the Prez. And Biden had already committed to a woman running mate. Unfortunately, what made sense as a VP in 2020 isn't necessarily what would make sense in 2024 as the main course. Hence the indecision. | |
